Join our community run every Thursday at 18:00. Meet us at Bierstindl, Klostergasse 6. No registration, no fees, no pressure. Just you, the trails, and good company.

The local crew behind our adventures.
When Allard Sym isn't running with DNA Trails, he's training for world cups in ski mountaineering, trail, and skyrunning, representing the Netherlands on the international stage.
According to Bente, every good run should end at a cute coffee place. Off the trails, you'll catch her grinding sketchy gravel on her bike or bikepacking in Italy.
Marie is a big fan of very long runs, nighttime adventures, lake swims and summit sunrises/sunsets, as long as the snacks are right. Usually leading the Discovery Run.
Matthias was a regular runner with DNA Trails long before joining the crew. A father of two with a busy schedule, he still finds time for the trails and enjoys going long.
NinaNina loves spending time outside, expecially in the mountains. She started the Snail group to make trail running accessible to more people!
EvanEvan is an avid skier, climber, and trail runner. He also enjoys astrophotography and giving Kudos on Strava.
No. We welcome curious first-timers and experienced trail runners alike. We split into groups by pace, adjust to the group, and make sure no one gets left behind. Runs are led in English, so locals, internationals, and visitors can all feel at home.
Every Thursday at 18:00 at Bierstindl, Klostergasse 6, Innsbruck. Check the calendar and our WhatsApp channel for the latest updates.
We have three groups: Snail (around 6 km with 250 m of climbing), Discovery (around 9.5 km with 350 m), and Advanced (around 13 km with 450 m). Routes vary each week. Allow 1.5 to 2.5 hours, depending on the route and pace. Find inspiration on our routes page or see past runs on Strava.
Our weekly community run is free, with no registration required. Just turn up! If it is your first time, come a little early so we can say hello. Workshops and special events may have separate registration details in the calendar.
Trail running shoes, water, a light jacket, and a snack are a good start. We also have trail shoes available to try if you do not have your own yet. Bring a headlamp for runs after dark.
Alongside Thursday runs, we get together for workshops, weekend adventures, social events, and seasonal activities such as ski touring. Our WhatsApp group is also a place to arrange spontaneous outings. Check the calendar for what is next.
